Open Farm Day - Hidden Meadow - Arrival

We got a late start to the day and only had time to visit two farms. We started at Hidden Meadow because they have heritage breeds of sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and cattle. Our first encounter was with a herd of Cotswold Sheep that ran away from us.
So I took a picture of them with a bunch of carrots, that were guaranteed not to run away. Don't they look thrilled?
Things picked up! In the barn Nature Girl and Wellington the Cotswold Ram became friends. He acted like our dog, after head rubs, he hadn't had enough and kicked his stall door and bleated for more. Nature Girl got more and more adventurous in petting Wellington. If she could have gone in the stall I would have had pictures of her rubbing his belly by the end! They LOVED each other!
These are the Scottish Highland Cattle. We eat these guys. They are about the size of St Bernards, wider though.
